📋 About This Mod
WARNING->
THE ESP NEED TO GO AFTER REALISTIC WATER MOD IF U PUT IT BEFORE WATER SEAMS APPEAR IN MANY PLACES LIKE NORTH OCEAN AND WINDHELM RIVER ..... ONLY AFTER VERSION 0. 8ATTENTION: If someone use Tundra Homestead from Creation Club there is a messy land error with this mod.....i can fix it but i will do it when i finish all the Skyrim Shores first, then i throw a second file with fixed Homestead.....check and test the new version 0. 8 guys. If someone finds errors or holes near the shores a map screenshot with the place will help and i will fix the problem ..... ty for support.
Is a remastered version of Grass & Ground fixes made from scratch in the new CE 2. 0.
The mod is about fixing the ugly triangle shores,flashing water and some ugly and fast made places near water bodies made from bethesda.
I try to polish them and make them soft and smooth, but need to do a lot of work and the mod will complete in three phases in Skyrim mainland, then i go to Dragonborn expansion. I havent go to the Dawnguard - Soulcairn plane yet so i dont know if theres anything to fix there....
IMPORTANT : The north sea is harder from any other area so need to work more time to polish it ...
The three phases of this mod is the RED,YELLOW and GREEN...
CHECK THE MAP IN THE SCREENSHOTS
RED=UNFINISHED i havent do something there for now ,need time to work so be patient!
YELLOW=REWORK i made a fast run to all lakes and rivers and fix the ugliest grounds in the shores and around them!
GREEN=COMPLETE release state smoother polished and checked in game to eliminate conflict and bugs!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,807 endorsements and 48k downloads
- Built from scratch with CE 2.0, so it's a fresh take on the original fixes
- Targets a specific visual niche—shorelines—that many texture packs overlook
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or mods
- Only covers grass and ground, so you'll need other mods for a full visual overhaul
- Potential conflicts with other texture mods that touch the same files
For Witcher 3 players who want better-looking terrain without a complete overhaul. If you're into photography mode or just tired of muddy shores, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're on the latest patch and worried about compatibility—it's been a while since the last update.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, you can install it manually by dropping files into the mods folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex makes it easier to uninstall if needed.
- If you're using other texture mods, check load order—this one should override or be overridden depending on your preference.
- Make sure to back up your original files if you're manually installing, just in case you want to revert.
